They Don`t Dance Like Carmen No More — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

By: Jimmy Buffett
1973
Walkin` down new streets, music is loud
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
But I`m just an old man, I`d probably get sore
`Cause they don`t dance like Carmen no more

She and ol` Cougie, my what a pair
Jus` doin` the Rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin` and glidin` `cross Hollywood floors
But they don`t dance like Carmen no more

-- Spoken:
"Take it Marvin"

"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"

Well now she had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
How she could balance it, I wouldn`t dare
But they don`t dance like Carmen nowhere

"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"

Ah but the lady`s not with us, she died long ago
And they don`t show her movies on late midnight shows
`Cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
`Cause they don`t dance like Carmen no more

Well now she and old Cougie, my what a pair
Just doin` the Boogie as no one else dared
Slidin` and glidin` `cross hardwood waxed floors
But they don`t dance like Carmen no more

No more
No no no more
And I`m just an old man, I`d probably get sore
But they don`t dance like Carmen no more
Nah they don`t dance like Carmen no more

Coda:
Ten cents dance, I might take a chance
But they don`t dance like Carmen no more
